Problem
Maritime operators often lack real-time, high‑resolution data on the loads and performance of ship propulsion and other rotating equipment, making it difficult to predict failures, optimize fuel use, and accurately measure emissions. This information gap leads to unexpected downtime, higher operating costs, and challenges in meeting sustainability targets.
Solution
Lumina provides a monitoring platform that captures precise operational load data from ship propulsion and rotating machinery using optical sensors combined with physics‑informed AI models. The system delivers continuous analytics on equipment health, predicts potential failures, and quantifies carbon emissions in real time. By translating raw sensor data into actionable insights, Lumina enables operators to identify fuel‑saving opportunities, schedule maintenance proactively, and improve overall vessel efficiency. The platform integrates with existing ship systems and presents data through a unified dashboard, supporting both performance optimization and compliance with environmental regulations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial ship owners, fleet managers, and marine engineering teams responsible for propulsion system performance and sustainability compliance.
